The Sterling 7

Bio

Cathy is a writer and associate producer currently working on a new project, "The 7 Scouts…And the Mystery of the Commie Spies", a young/adult, action adventure mystery book, graphic novel, comic book, webisodes and feature film, presented by the 7 Scouts ™. Cathy worked in the legal field until her writing adventure began. The journey started with the hopes of completing a novel regarding Firefighters. Wanting to get a first-hand look at the authenticity of the actual tasks of a Firefighter, she traveled to firehouses on both the west and east coasts, and observed several months of training at big city Fire Academies. While on the east coast, Cathy was granted permission by the Boston Fire Commissioner to virtually reside at a firehouse and ride along with members of one of the busiest ladder companies in the city. She also traveled around with members of the Fire Service on both coasts; where she not only observed, but participated in, various rescue and terrorist training practices. When the catastrophic events of September 11, 2009 occurred, Cathy made the decision to put the project off to a later time—capitalizing on horrific events was not something she had hoped to achieve. In the meantime, she completed a fiction P.I. novel, Lies & Deceptions—the first in the Sammy Jo White Mystery Series. After completing the second in the series, Diversionary Tactics, which is due out at the end of 2009, she was told to consider writing screenplays. So, using a family of firefighters she met in Boston, and actual incidents that occurred in the City, she added a fictional plot, and Family of Jake's was born. Since then, she has written several other screenplays, one of which led to her being approached and ultimately hired for her current project.
